Which basic mobile phone to choose

Im looking at upgrading second phone. Has to be O2 pay as you go, and only used for calls and texting, with colour screen. I have always used Nokia but they dont seem to have a cheap model that would suit, so its any make really

The nokia 1100 doesn't have a colour screen. The ones that have been suggested are all pretty good basic colour phones....Try and find them ready to use unlocked without getting a softweare cracker to do the job. HIgh street stores like the one suggested on those links will generally have stock already unlocked for use on any network....

Enter your details and the website (below) will generate an unlock code specific to the model of your phone. The code will look something like this:

#pw+2746763089+1# (Nokia phones)

*2767*637# (Other makes)

Take the Sim card out of the phone and put in a different network’s Sim. Enter the generated code into the phone. You may be given several codes. Try the first one to start with and if this doesn’t work try the others.

How to enter the code

Rather than using the regular text keys you need to use the * key if you want to produce letters as opposed to numbers. To produce a ‘p’, press the * button three times within two seconds; to produce a ‘w’, press the * button four times within two seconds; to produce a ‘+’, press the * button twice within two seconds.

I'm new to this forum, I don't know how to reply to Si-L's statement that you can unlock 2310 for free on the internet - that model is not listed under Tryktill, for example. If this topic is now resolved, how can he see this?
